In Game Four of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks displayed unexpected tenacity against the Celtics, a team that dominated prior games. Although the Knicks initially struggled, the dynamics shifted as players like OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson excelled, displaying exceptional performance in critical moments. Their ability to adapt and rally in crucial moments highlighted a transformation in their gameplay, signaling a potential turn of events in the series. This newfound energy raised the possibility of a Knicks victory, despite previous struggles against an intimidating Celtics squad.
Sometime during the second half of Game Four of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and Celtics on Monday night, an entirely unfamiliar thought leapt to the mind of anyone who had watched the entire series up to that point: The Knicks could actually win this thing.
And then everything started to click. OG Anunoby started hitting 3-pointers and pestering Tatum. Josh Hart returned to being the guy who's always leaping into the most troublesome spot for the opposing team.
Karl Anthony Towns had his best game of the series precisely when it was most needed. Mikal Bridges, after a season in which many Knicks fans feared they might have traded the draft bounty they'd saved up for the wrong guy, was brilliant.
